When Aether had entered another portal, he felt a cold wind blowing from inside the secret room as he opened the ancient book. The pages radiated a soft light, as if every word contained magical power. As he read, he felt the world around him change. The room started to shake, and the floor beneath his feet felt like it was spinning.
Suddenly, Aether was thrown into darkness. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in the middle of a different castle's great hall. This hall was full of huge statues that seemed alive, as if they were watching his every move. Surrounding the hall, there were five large doors that led to different parts of the castle.
"This must be part of the challenge," Aether muttered as he looked around. She felt a little scared, but her determination grew stronger. He knows that he must face all these challenges to find the answer.
Aether approached the first door and opened it carefully. Behind the door, he found a large room filled with large mirrors. The mirrors not only reflected his image, but also revealed the shadows of the terrifying creatures moving behind him.
Aether realized that these were illusions, but these illusions felt very real. She walked through the room carefully, avoiding the images that appeared in the mirrors. Every step felt like a battle against his own fear. Finally, She reached another door at the end of the room and stepped inside.
The next room is full of complicated mechanical traps. The floors were filled with deep holes, and the walls were filled with poisonous arrows ready to shoot out at any moment. Aether had to use all his ingenuity to avoid these traps. She jumped, ducked, and moved carefully, relying on her quick analysis to spot trap patterns.
After successfully passing through a room full of traps, She found herself in a long corridor. This corridor was filled with creatures of darkness ready to attack him. Aether knew that She couldn't rely on her physical strength here, so She had to use her intelligence.
He observed every creature, looking for their weak points. Quickly, She put together a plan and started moving. She dodged their attacks nimbly, using her surroundings against them. Every creature he faces becomes a new lesson for him, making him stronger and smarter.
After passing through the long corridor, Aether arrived at the last room before the secret room. In this room, She must face a complicated puzzle. The table in the middle of the room was filled with puzzle pieces that he had to arrange correctly. Each puzzle piece emits a different magical light.
Aether sat at an old wooden table decorated with ancient carvings. In front of him, lay a puzzle that radiated a soft golden light. The puzzle pieces seemed alive, shimmering with powerful magical energy. Every time Aether touched one of the pieces, he felt a subtle but real vibration, like a whisper from the past.
The room Aether was in was filled with the aroma of burning wood and soothing herbal fragrance. The dim candlelight created dancing shadows on the stone walls, adding to the mysterious atmosphere of the night. In the corner of the room, a small window provided a glimpse of the starry night sky, as if monitoring Aether's every move with great interest.
Aether took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind. The puzzle before him was no ordinary puzzle; each piece contains ancient secrets and incredible power. He knows, just by solving this puzzle, he will find the key to his next destination, which is likely the place where the answers to many of the mysteries of this other dimension are hidden.
With shaking hands, Aether took the first piece. Once he placed it in the right place, the piece lit up brighter, emitting a magical vibration that made the entire room shake for a moment. "One step closer," he muttered to himself, feeling excitement rising in his chest.
One by one, he installed the next pieces, each time followed by flashes of light and increasingly intense vibrations. The puzzle pieces have unusual shapes: some are shaped like five-pointed stars, others are shaped like crescent moons, and some resemble unknown ancient symbols. Each piece has a small inscription that can only be seen with the naked eye when illuminated by magical light.
Aether paused to read one of the inscriptions. "Under the moonlight, the truth will be revealed," he whispered. He pondered the words for a moment before reassembling the next piece. Each inscription looks like a clue that must be solved to find the correct cut location. Some pieces have to be rotated at specific angles before they fit together properly, adding a higher level of difficulty.
After several painstaking hours, Aether managed to fit more than half of the puzzle pieces. Suddenly, he felt something strange. The puzzle pieces began to move on their own, pulling each other with an invisible force. "This must be part of the puzzle," thought Aether. He paid close attention to how the pieces interacted, looking for patterns that could help him complete the rest of the puzzle.
With new understanding, Aether began to manipulate the pieces with more confidence. He realized that pieces that had certain inscriptions had to be placed together to create a stronger magical effect. Every time he managed to put the pieces together, the light radiated became brighter and the resulting vibrations became stronger.
Finally, only one piece remained. This piece looked different from the others, bigger and shinier. Carefully, Aether installed it in the empty spot in the middle of the puzzle.
Once the final piece was in place, the entire puzzle lit up with a light so bright that Aether had to cover his eyes for a moment. A powerful magical vibration permeated his entire body, making him feel immense warmth and strength. When the light subsided, Aether saw the puzzle disappear and the room shook, and the large door at the end of the room opened. Aether With a heart full of hope, she stepped into the secret room.
